Yeah, I thought that was a nice touch. I got a chuckle when Josh mentioned JRs blog too, rofl.

I thought it was funny because well there's a lot of truth in how that company thinks about that stuff in what he said.

Totally. I'd been reading a lot over the past few months about how popular Danielson was backstage, because of the way he carries himself, respectful to everybody, and I think that shows in the way they're pushing him. It looks like he's worked the politics the right way.

The only thing he really has working against him is his size. He was noticably smaller than everybody else (including the Miz). But putting him in there with Jericho was a great way to counteract that. Can't think of a better way to protect him.

Also frankly calling Danielson a rookie and Miz the pro is comically bad.

I think it's hilariously bad, on one hand, but on the other I think it's good booking. Gives him an established heel to work with, gives the audience a feud that's basically "sports entertainer versus wrestler" (something I never thought I'd see) and an entrance feud for Raw down the road that may well end up with Danielson getting the US title sometime later in the year. It wouldn't have worked a year ago. But I think Miz is one of the most improved guys in the company over the last 12 months. He's really come a long a way. I never expected him to be anything, but it's looking to me like he's the future star and Morrison is just another guy, and I never saw it that way when they were in ECW together.
